If I make a new iTunes account, can I transfer my music and apps to it?

Okay so about 2 years ago, I went to my friend's house so that she could put music on my iPod and ever since then I've had an iTunes account through them (using their apple id to have a playlist, get apps, etc.) but recently I had tried to get a new app and when I entered the password for their account, it said that it was an incorrect password. I tried the password multiple times to see if I maybe typed it wrong but still there was no luck so my guess is that they changed the password forgetting that I was using the account, too.
So basically I just made this iTunes account to ask this question and I'm onderin if I reconnect my iPod with this account will I be able to transfer my music? (If this helps, I have the iPod touch 4th generation)

I'm not using their money like I don't have any of their songs or apps. Everything that I have I downloaded it myself. The apps are no problem if they can't be transferred because they're all free ones I just want to know if there's a way to sync the songs on my iPod that I physically downloaded myself to my new iTunes account.

No. Gift card money can't be transferred to another iTunes Store account or used to buy gifts.

My daughter has been using my iTunes account to buy music and apps. I now want to set up a separate iTunes account for her, with a different login. How can we transfer the music and apps she has already bought to her new iTunes account?

Hello, thank you for your prompt answer. I did have an idea that Home sharing might be the answer but could not quite figure out how to do it. I have enabled home sharing in my iTunes account, put in username and password, clicked on creat etc. But the homs sharing icon doew not appear in the left side of iTunes. So I got stuck. Any further ideas?

Hi. My kids are all on my itunes account. As a result they also ge my text messages. I would like to set up their own accounts but be able to transfer the songs and apps they purchased. Can this be done?

You can still share an iTunes account for purchasing and downloading content. Just create a new Apple ID for iCloud to use for Messaging. If you try to create a new Apple ID for music and content, everything on their phone is tied to the Apple ID used for purchases, and would then require the password for that Apple ID to update. The way I described is easier.

If I create a new account can I transfer all of my songs, games, movies etc. to the new one?

I know this is an old post, but I'm in a similar situation. I'm going to college this fall and I would like to have my own account going into my future. I'm under my mom's account because that is how I first started out with my ipod a few years ago. I don't want to be under my mom's account forever so this is a reason I want a new account while still keeping all the songs I've bought over the years.

If i create a new iTunes account can i transfer all 144 of my apps

Hi Guys
Im currently sharing an account & have been for some time. but recently we have been having a slight problem with it all.
My apps are downloading on to his computer & his on mine.
I have decided to create my own itunes account but from what i here i will have to buy all my apps again, which seems silly.
Is there anything that i can do about this?
Can i even change the email on the current account & the payment deatils so i can claim it? seeing as i have the most apps this would seem the option but then is it even possible?
thanks
Harry

iDevices are not backup devices.
Use the backup of the computer to put the content back on the computer.
If not backup exists and the content was purchased via iTunes, connect the device and select File > Transfer purchases. This will not restore playlists, playcounts or any other library specific data.
If the media was not purchased via iTunes, search google for ways to extract it from the iPhone.
Whatever you do, going forward make sure you back up your media and other important files regularly.

Not without buying them from the new iTunes Store account.

Why not use your previous iTunes account (Apple ID)? Explain a little more, please.

If I was to get a new computer and transfer all my music from my itunes on my old computer to hard drive then to my new computer and itunes, could I make a new itunes account on my new computer and still be able to use my old songs?

Anyone with information on this would be muchly appreciated!!! Thank you in advance! Oh and I currently have a windows but will be getting a mac book pro most likely

The music sync is one one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases. File>Transfer Purchases
Have you failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer?

HT201269 Could I make a new iTunes account for my iPhone and transfer the music and tv episodes from the cloud of my old account to my phone?

I want to make a new iTunes account, but I don't want to loose all of my previous purchases from my old account. Could I create a new account from y iPhone? And with that new account, could I use the icloud from the old account to sync my previous purchases?

Purchases are forever tied to the ID used to purchase them. If you create a new iTunes account, you can still get your old purchases on your phone, but you'd have to sign out of the iTunes/App store with your new ID, then sign in with your old ID, then download them. Also, apps can only be updated using the ID used to originally obtain them. So, you'd have to sign out/sign in to update your apps that were obtained with the old ID.

If I make a new itunes account on my(now my 12 year old brother's) first generation ipod touch, will any data be deleted? I keep telling him that i don't think anything will be deleted and he keeps saying that he'll have to download everything again. Please answer. I've asked identical questions but received no answers.

It shouldn't be. You can use multiple Apple ID's one one device. But keep in mind that purchases made under one ID are permanently tied to that ID. So if you need to update an app that was purchased with a certain Apple ID, it will needed to be updated with those Apple ID credentials.

1. No.
2. Not as long as you're still syncing it with the same iTunes library. If you meant iTunes libraries and not iTunes Store accounts to begin with, you need to use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes.

My dad and I shared an iTunes account for years and now I'm getting my own, how can I keep my music and apps?

My dad and I shared an iTunes account for years and now I'm getting my own, how can I keep my music and apps? I'm worried that I won't have any ability to access my apps and music. We have our itunes separated on different computers, so I have all of my stuff separated from his, but I don't know how to put them in my new account.

Well... there really isn't any fully legal way to do this.
The simplest solution is to continue sharing the same iTunes purchasing acct, but create different ones for iCloud (assuming that's why you needed to do the split).
Slightly less kosher: Burn AUDIO CD's, of the music then copy them back to your new account.
BE sure to do this from original acount, To keep the music info, you'll copy over the CDDB file (in prefs somewhere) - since this maintains the data of CDs that you've had in library.... (it isn't carried over onto a user created CD.)

I use to have a iTunes account with my old computer, and I have lost all my iTunes music, some purchased, some downloaded from another source. Now I'm using a brand new computer (Windows) and I have opened a NEW iTunes account, but I need my music back...

I use to have a iTunes account with my old computer, and I have lost all my iTunes music, some purchased, some downloaded from another source. Now I'm using a brand new computer (Windows) and I have opened a NEW iTunes account, but I now I need to figure out if it is possible to recoup my music content that I originally had. I had, I believe around close to 300 songs on my account ;(......Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Again, Ronald

Now remove all your info and update the old AppleiD/iTunes account and use only that account.
You cannot transfer items between iTunes accounts.
You can redownload all the content.

If I make a new iTunes account, can I transfer my music and apps to it?
